As pretty much everyone knows, this weekend is the second canning weekend for THON. We at Onward State encourage everyone to practice safe canning techniques, ensuring a safe and enjoyable weekend for everyone. With the help of the THON Overall Committee, we’ve compiled  list of things to keep in mind:

• Make sure you have your PSU ID on you at all times
• Don’t run into the streets and stay off of medians
• Don’t stop traffic to receive donations
• Wear bright and visible clothing (it’s supposed to snow this weekend, so this one is especially important)
• Be sure to ask permission from property owners and comply with all local and state regulations regarding solicitation
• No canning after dark

Remember that this is For the Kids, so stay safe.

If you have any questions, you can read the rulebook (warning – pdf link) or contact Rules and Regulations Overall Lauren Kay at [email protected].
